Functional connectivity differences between the sexes visualised using hierarchical edge bundling

John McGonigle
Red lines connect regions where women show increased functional connectivity compared to men. Blue lines connect regions where men show increased functional connectivity compared to women. Regions are arranged in a structural hierarchy and connections between them grouped over relevant subsections of their paths. This is an implementation of hierarchical edge bundling. The edges shown are those which are significantly different (p<0.05) between sexes after a multiple comparisons correction. Data taken from the resting state fMRI sessions of over 1000 people. We showed a similar figure in [1] using different data. [1] Adam J. Schwarz, John McGonigle.
